Stents drug-eluting endovascular

MECHANOPHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY DRUG-ELUTING ENDOVASCULAR STENTS... 

One relevant application involves vascular stents (endovascular prostheses), where thrombosis and restenosis remain a problem. So far, drug eluting coatings have been developed and applied with mixed results. One therapeutical approach involved ion implantation and cyclotron activation of stents to render them radioactive so as to inhibit neointimal formation and reduce restenosis, e.g. ion implantation to subsequently obtain radioactive or direct P ion implantation.
